All Chapters of I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire!: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

VINCENT’S POV: “No! Why did it have to happen?!” My cries echo off the barren walls of my rented small apartment, my hands clutching the crumpled newspaper with a headline: Lilian Doyle Murdered Inside the Prison. It’s my fault! I love her, but when the noose tightens, I let her take the fall, convincing myself it’s the only way to save us both. And her killer, I was the one who hired him oblivious of what he could do. Now, she’s gone! If only the gunman isn’t caught, then Lilian won’t have to suffer in jail. But why would he kill her even after I already gave my promise that I’ll get him out too as soon as possible? There's something more than meets the eye here. Is it possible that both the gunman and Lilian were killed by the same person or group of people? But who? My head spins. I haven’t come up with any strategy on how to get out of the other abyss I’m being dragged into, and now I’m shoved into another one! My swollen eyes flicker towards my email through my laptop, re

HAZEL’S POV: I’ve been calling Marius, each unanswered ring making me anxious. We have plans for today, but he’s already hours late. The security at Marius’ penthouse said that Marius didn’t return home last night. Marius’ parents confirmed that Marius is no longer living with them since Lilian’s arrest, and they’ve already reported him missing to the authorities. My mind races through a myriad of scenarios, each darker than the last. I try to brush them away, but they’re too insistent to be ignored. Suddenly, my phone rings. Hope flares that it may be Marius. But my anticipation quickly deflates when I see Carter’s name on the screen. I ignore the call coz I need to focus on finding Marius instead of listening to Carter’s repeated declaration and promises of love. But Carter keeps buzzing up my phone. Then, an inkling snaps into place: Carter may know something about Marius' disappearance. It isn’t far-fetched; he already tried to kill Marius once. And with me and Marius get

I have no idea where exactly we are or how far we have strayed from danger. Inside a cave, I huddle over Marius' frail form. I’ve done my best, using the meager leaves blanched in boiled water to patch his wounds, but it isn't enough. He still has a high fever with labored breathing.I can't leave him to seek help. Yet, if no help arrives soon, he may not make it through the day. The raw terror of losing him gnaws at my insides, and I can't think straight of what to do next.Dawn comes unnoticed, and my exhaustion and hunger begins to take a toll on me. Suddenly, voices echo and shadows dance at the cave's entrance. Then, a jolt of fear courses through me when Vincent and his men emerge with villainous smirks. "Found’ya," Vincent wickedly teases."No, please," My voice trembles as I position myself protectively in front of Marius. "Don't kill us. Let us go.""And why would we do that, Lilian’s enemy number one?" Vincent sneers as he steps closer.He then motions for his men to gr

Every fiber of my being recoils at the thought of being near Carter, yet I mask it with a veneer of calculated allure. It’s dangerous, and one misstep can cost me everything. Each time Carter will try to cross the boundaries, I’ll gently but firmly remind him that trust and love are not yet his to claim. He needs to gain those first, before I can satisfy his s.exual desires. Whenever Carter questions me about my sudden change of heart, I speak of Marius’ perceived weakness, painting him as someone who’s unable to protect me in the way Carter can. I cite the recent event as the start of me doubting my future with Marius. The kidnappers are part of our discussions from time to time. They’re still on the run even though the authorities already have their identities. Even Carter can’t find them that easily. Another worth noting is Vincent’s survival, which is both a threat to Marius and my safety and to Carter’s fake innocence. Carter is desperate to silence him completely before he

CARTER’S POV: I slam my fists on the desk out of the frustration and fury.Red alerts are flashing on my screens, the rapid decline in my corporation's stock value, and the incessant ringing of my phone with updates I don't want to hear. If this continues, my corporations will go bankrupt in no time! It’s unthinkable! My empire, meticulously built with ruthless precision starting from my grandfather, is losing a billion dollars within hours. This had never happened before. Not to Carter Whitlock! "Why, all at once?" I seethe through gritted teeth. They’re all earning great returns; there’s no logical financial reason for this mass withdrawal. What could possibly have driven them to such a drastic measure? There must be something else. Someone is orchestrating this, and I intend to find out who. I pick up my phone and begin leaving a series of voicemails with barely contained fury. "Reverse your decision, or face financial ruin. I promise you, pulling out now will be the worst m
